Auto prices are about to rise again
twentyfive
Living well and enjoying my retirement
Just when the price of cars was starting to drop hurricane Ida destroyed about 300,000 vehicles. In areas hit by the storm it's near impossible to get a rental car, the chip shortage is having an impact all over again, looks like inflation is starting to rise and costs will be impacted in many sectors.

1. US Civil War Over
2. Franco Prussian War Over
3. War to remove French puppet Maximillian from Mexico over
So this was when a lame duck Grant administration was pressure to end Reconstruction in the South, to make it into a consumption center, while making the West into a natural resource exploitation center.
We needed to change, but instead we created our own internal third world.
And then of course two world wars and a whole lot more to bust material consumption and patch our broken system along.
At this point, the COVID induced crash may have been the final straw.

Other than Weimar Germany, this has never happened to a major economy before.

What did you buy?
I gotta 2008 PT Cruiser...
Cracked windshield, AC compressor smokes, brakes squeal...
Have to turn the key twice to start it, first time fails, usually...
And it's got a history of the electric fan at the radiator not stopping when the car is shut down, until the battery is dead.
Oh, and the shocks are bad.
and there's a loud rattle coming from the back door every time you hit a bump.
For any of you guy, who "need" to buy a car, $20,000!!! What a deal!!!
Check circuit for running the fan. As engine cools it should stop. Maybe thermostat switch need to be replaced. Can test it out on kitchen stove.
Shocks wear out, probably that used MacPherson struts.
Cars always require maintenance.

They might have to start pricing automobiles and the securities market in loaves of bread.
